Zone D: Where Standard Paint Goes to Die
Properties in Mount Maunganui sit in "Exposure Zone D" (and often Zone E for beachfront). The air here is thick with salt aerosol that acts like sandpaper on standard paint.
If you use standard acrylics here, they chalk and erode within 3 years. At Tomar Contracting, we treat painting at The Mount as engineering, not decoration. We specify marine-grade coatings, apply Zero-Salt decontamination for beachfront properties, and restore cedar with penetrating oils to keep it stable in salt-driven wind.

Specialized Services for The Mount
Luxury Residential & Architectural
Context: High-value homes with complex architectural features (louvres, cedar, negative detailing).
Our Approach: We are "Finish Obsessed." We use fine-finish spray techniques for flawless doors and trims. We restore cedar with penetrating oils that feed the timber and reduce checking. We protect your landscaping and expensive pavers with military precision before we open a paint tin.
Apartment & Body Corporate Maintenance
Context: The Mount is defined by multi-story apartment complexes.
Our Approach: We are specialists in High-Access Painting.
-
Scaffolding & Abseiling: We manage the entire access logic for multi-story repaints.

Committee Communication: We work directly with Body Corp committees, providing detailed maintenance schedules and sinking fund forecasts for painting work.
-
Minimal Disruption: We schedule noisy work around holiday peak times to minimize impact on residents and Airbnb guests.
Holiday Home (Bach) Maintenance
Context: Many owners live out of town.
Our Approach: "Remote Project Management." We can wash, repair, and paint your bach while you are in Auckland or Tauranga. We send weekly photo updates so you can track the transformation from afar.
Fast response. Local teams.
How We Fight the Salt
-
Zero-Salt Protocol: Beachfront properties demand decontamination, not just cleaning. We use surfactants to break chloride bonds before any coating system goes on.
-
Stainless Steel Care: We don't just paint walls. We apply protective coatings to stainless steel balustrades and flashings to prevent "tea staining" (surface rust).
-
Elastomeric Membranes: We recommend heavy-duty, stretchable membranes (like Resene X-200) for plaster homes. These bridge the thermal cracks caused by the intense Mount sunshine.
Fast response. Local teams.
